How ’bout “State of Calfusion”.
This has the double meaning of fusion of 2 things and feeling confused (about where one lives in this case).
Works well as an answer when someone asks where you live.
This applies to me as I live in San Clemente and have friends in San Jose and used to live in Marin.

How about yo-yo-cal? or shorten that to yo-cal?

Regarding the lady who splits her time between so-Cal and nor-Cal (no-cal sounds like a diet drink to me), how about pan-Californian? I think this issue is somewhat specific to California because, although it’s one state, it has two distinct cultures. And besides, how can one be verti-Cal and laid back at the same time?
By the way, what is a “dot orgy”, and why wasn’t I invited?

Canadians who live in Florida or Arizona durring the winter months are known as "snowbirds" So perhaps one who travels up and down the state of california could be called a… "sonobird?"

I'm in this situation and when asked what part of the state I live in I usually say I'm "bi-Cal" or "no-so". Usually, however, I say my most-of-the-time city and it's known or I say I live in Orange County and that's recognized.

LOL.
Boy, this question sure has generated a lot of discussion, both here and in even moreso our email box. (I like "Sonofornian" just because it sounds so silly, and "bi-Cal" because it sounds like it has layers of complexity. But again, it's just so hard to get people to pick up made-up terms like these.) But we still haven't found the broader word that would apply to ANYONE with a north-south commute. What about someone who lives in Minneapolis part of the year and New Orleans — or Buenos Aires — the other part of the year? I'm thinking something that uses the idea of "latitude," but I'm still floundering about for an answer.
